Almost more excited for the players and coaches.
Expectations are mixed as the Frogs opened a 2.5 dog at home to an Iowa State team that laid a fat one against ULaLa a few weeks ago. So is Vegas wrong?
One of the biggest reasons for the line is the unknown at QB and kinda for both teams. Purdy for IOSt could hit an open receiver against Louisiana but he is expected to return to his former self. TCU will start Matthew Downing who has not thrown a pass in a game for the Frogs. However Max Duggan should be ready to go if Downing struggles.
Lots to look forward to seeing from TCU however. A highly touted secondary, one of the nations best linebackers, 2 five star rated players out of high school, highly sought after transfers and some young talent that is making waves on the practice field.
Iowa State got burned by returns on kick offs and punts and JD Spielman will try and continue those woes when he is on the field returning punts for TCU.
Line play will be key as the Cyclones bring a big O-line and normally a stout D-line which did not live up to its expectations in their opener.
Parker Workman is one to watch. Hampered by injuries since he arrived as a highly regarded pass-rusher at Snow College. He is now healthy and was impressive in the fall..
The Frogs also have a relatively new offensive line, 24 starts among the first teamers led by Austin Myers with 13. However, Andrew Coker, Wes Harris and Esteban Avila were highly recruited out of high school and bring new expectations. Quazzel White was solid at OG last season and hopefully that continues.
